I have always loved the combination of cinnamon and raisins, so when I saw this recipe in a magazine when I was in college, I copied it down and put it in my recipe box. Unfortunately, my recipe box got lost along the way. It ended up in a box of stuff that you keep, but has no use, so it rarely gets opened.

Recently I have been trying to adopt more of a minimalist lifestyle, so I have been going through some old boxes and throwing things away and guess what I found? Yep, my old recipe box and in it, the recipe for cinnamon raisin biscuits.

While going through my old recipe box, I had to laugh at some of the recipes I saved back then......chocolate nut bread? Mexican egg rolls? But when I saw that cinnamon raisin biscuit recipe, I had to try it, so I made some last weekend. They were really delicious! The biscuits were light and flaky with a delicate flavor of cinnamon and juicy raisins. They were perfect for me! I never cared for cinnamon rolls because they have way too much super sweet icing, but these biscuits were delicious and not overly sweet.

Preheat oven to 450 degreesCombine all dry ingredientsCut in butterAdd milk and raisins, stirring until dough is kind of stiffPlace on a lightly floured board or counterRoll out to 1/2 inch thick and cut into desired shapesPlace on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes until top is golden

I like these biscuits as is, however, they are not sweet enough for my hubby, so for him I made a light cinnamon glaze and brush it over half of the biscuits while they are still warm.

With a whisk, mix the ingredients in a bowlWhisk hard until smoothApply to the top of your biscuits with a brush

I hope that you enjoy these biscuits as much as I do. They are so yummy with hot tea and a little honey butter. They are also a great addition to breakfast plate. Just make sure that you store them in an air tight container so they don't get stale.
